Wow, Christian, that is a wonderful offer!
Re searchability, I think it would be good to have key words to
describe each person's research under headings. For example, this
might be:
1. Methods: (choose one or more of)
Behavioural
fMRI
ERP
Other brain imaging (eg. DTI)
Single cell
Computational modelling
Others: specify
2. Populations: (choose one or more of)
Human adults -- typical
Human children -- typical
Aging / Elderly
Prosopagnosia -- acquired
Prosopagnosia -- developmental;
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Other disorders where face processing is affected
Monkeys
Animals other than primates
Others: specify
3. Theoretical topics: (choose one or more of)
Identity
Expression
Gaze
Holistic processing / configural processing
Face-space
...etc, etc, etc !!
If people think this general approach would be a good idea, they might
care to expand the lists above (which are just based on what I came up
with in 10 mins).
The general aim would be that, for example, if one wants to find
colleagues or potential collaborators who do behavioural work on gaze
processing in monkeys, or expression recognition in Autism, then
keyword searching would be a useful tool for doing this.
Best,
Elinor

Dear all,
first off, thanks to Peter for getting things going - I think this
list is a great idea!
Also, I like the webpage suggestion and would be more than happy to
create and host it. We can make a public and a private version of
the page, so that contact details are only available to list
subscribers. As for the content, I would envision a collection of
links (e.g., labs, databases) as well as the member profiles. The
profiles should be searchable and sortable and possibly might
contain affiliation, bio, research interests, and key bibliography.
Of course, the final format is up to the list to decide :) - I am
happy to help set up this resource...
As for my background, I graduated from the Max Planck Institute for
Biological Cybernetics working on computer vision & face recognition
under the supervision of Heinrich Bülthoff. Together with my
colleague Christoph Dahl, I also did a few studies comparing macaque
and human face perception recently, which might be of interest to
some on the list. My current interests lie in perception of facial
expressions, comparing human and computer face recognition
performance, as well as multi-sensory face recognition.
Best regards from Korea and hoping for a lively list
Christian
